The tide is full ioio
The tide is full iaia
The tide went up
Tide rises
The tide went down
Tide lowers
It’s a tide of tide
I'm going to the tidal island
Ilha de maré is a small island off the coast of Brazil, and is part of the municipality of Salvador. The island’s economy is based on fishing, small family owned farms, and tourism. You hear Ilha de maré referenced many times in capoeira lyrics for several reasons. One important reason is that it is the where one of the most influential mestres was born, Mestre Waldemar.
